I’ve been wanting to get into Star Trek, but I’m not sure the best place to start. I’m sure there’s a wide range of opinions.

Some shows ‘get good after season 1’. I’m a little worried that I’ll end up picking a star trek show with a weak start and then dropping it before the parts people actually like. I vaguely remember reading these sort of comments about TNG.

    Stargate was definitely inspired by both TOS and TNG, so I might start with one of those, although Voyager has more of the ‘we have no idea what’s out there’ element because they’re in totally uncharted space.

    But it’s so hard to tell you where to start. In terms of understanding most Star Trek references in other shows, probably TNG. Because while other shows do reference TOS, TNG seems to me to have been much more influential in future Star Trek development.
